Unwanted yellow background with tracking text

There's an unwanted faint yellow background to one segment of my video. I'm working with high def footage and render in high def.

The faint yellow background covers only the NON-high-def screen size (square'ish), although the video itself is more rectangular. This means the faint yellow background goes fully top to bottom, but on the left and right hands sides, it indents about an inch or so. The project properties show that this is a HDV 720-25p project.

The problem is clearly related to the two text boxes that have motion tracking to them. Each text box itself produces a faint yellow background, but at one point when displayed over each other, the faint yellow background intensifies because both text boxes are now overlaid on each other.

The problem is also clearly related to motion tracking of the text. I can see the faint yellow background move when the text moves (the text zig zags a lot intentionally)

I've changed the blue box credit roll parameters where the text is allowed to display, but that doesn't get rid of the faint yellow background.

Any ideas on how to get rid of the faint yellow background? Thank you.

Hi GST,
Go to your text, click on the 'generated media' (little green film icon), go to properties, look at 'background color', find the verticle slider which controls the alpha (transparency), slide it ALL the way to the bottom and it should fix your problem..........hopefully. Let us know. Cin

One other possibility is you keyframes a "glow" during track motion. Open up the track motion where you see the issue, look carefully at the bottom where the keyframes are. You'll see 3 items - postion, shadow and glow. Click on each (probably glow) and check to see if you have any yellow glow added.
